Support Services for Male Survivors

Approximately 1 in 6 men will experience sexual abuse in their lifetime.

The Male Survivors Program provides free and confidential counselling support to men who have experienced sexual abuse or assault. Family members and significant others are also able to access counselling to support their loved ones.

The program supports men aged 16 and over to regain a sense of control over their lives by developing positive coping skills. It is designed specifically to meet men's needs in a way that speaks to men.

Please do not live in silence. Share how you are feeling with someone you can trust.

If you're ready to talk, we're ready to listen.
